My brother on guitar, Sheldon on bass, and me on drums. In the garage one hot Terrytown summer, trying to lay down some tracks.

Song Number One

Here are some MP3s I made from cassette recordings of shows I made during my KLSU days.

I recorded these shows with cheap Normal grade audio cassettes, which are starting to deteriorate. So sound quality is likely to be spotty. I’ve had some tapes come off of their spools, so I can’t even play them. Bummer.

1. 1988 Groovin’ on the Grounds promo carts (14MB, 20 minutes) –– This one features John Arrizza doing his martini-hound schtick, Rob Cambre doing his dago hunk schtick, Jimmy Ott doing his Cheech Marin schtick, and Andrew Nackley doing a hilarious Morrissey impression.
2. The "audience show" (50MB, 45 minutes) –– from April, 1988. I used recordings of audiences during my voiceovers. This was a pretty rocking show: AC/DC, Scratch Acid, Dinosaur, etc.
3. The "Boojie Boy party show" (55MB, 45 minutes) –– this is a show I did before I went to a party at Boojie Boy’s house. This was a late-evening show, heavy on Gothic and Industrial music — Foetus, Legendary Pink Dots, SPK, Skinny Puppy, Dead Can Dance, and so on. Oh, and Fish and Roses’ big hit, “Have A Nice Day, and Fried Rice.”

Stay tuned, there are more on their way.

Here’s what all the kids are wearing this season. Adults, too. Well, the tech-savvy adults. I’ll take mine in fuchsia, with feather trim.

What’s most awesome about these pants, however, is how you inflate them. The pictures don’t show the Inflatorr Tube (TM), or where you put the tube. So these are organic, Earth-friendly pants — no non-biodegradable petroleum by-products necessary. Except when you make the pants out of recycled tires and oil sludge, but that’s not so bad.
